Written by Jordan Newton

As a teacher, you can monitor the activity of your students using Planets directly from the Teacher Dashboard. This will let you see what designs are on the planet and who placed them, how many reactions they have and what feedback students have left for each other.

Alternatively, if you would like you can also join the students in Planets in the app, providing your teacher account is under the same class as students you wish to join.


❓ Where do I go to check student work?

Student work is available on the Planets Dashboard screen, which is accessed from your Teacher Dashboard.
​

The Planet Dashboard allows you to view all the designs your students have placed on the planet, the reactions they have as well as access the Planet's settings.

You can also delete certain designs from the Planet if your students are having issues or the designs are disruptive for you class.

  1. Open and log into the Teacher Dashboard and navigate to the 'progress reports' section under student work. Make sure you have starred the class you wish to change the settings for.

  2. Once you are here you'll need to pick your class and select the challenge course you are doing with your class.
    ​

  3. Now that you have selected the challenge course, you should see all your students and their current progress in the challenge course. At the top of this grid, there are several icons, each representing the different steps within the challenge course. Find the Planet icon and click it, this will open a popup that contains a button to go to the Planet Dashboard.
